Tysons Station - DC Metro
Silver Line - station in McLean, VA.
About Tysons station
This is the station that made Tysons reachable without a car. An elevated Silver Line platform above Route 123, it connects by pedestrian bridge to Tysons Corner Center, one of the largest shopping malls on the East Coast, and sits within walking distance of the office towers that make Tysons Virginia’s biggest employment center outside Arlington. Renamed simply Tysons in 2022, it handles a genuinely mixed load: office workers arriving in the morning, shoppers arriving all day, and residents of the new apartment towers that have gone up around the station. If you are visiting the DC area and want a shopping day without renting a car, this is the stop.
